The Tonton Macoute or simply the Macoute, was a Haitian paramilitary and secret police force created in 1959 by dictator François "Papa Doc" Duvalier. Haitians named this force after the Haitian mythological bogeyman, Tonton Macoute, who kidnaps and punishes unruly children by snaring them in a gunny sack before carrying them off to be consumed for breakfast.

Haiti is facing critical food insecurity and a health system crisis due to political and economic volatility.
The current situation is debilitating the infrastructure of the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation, leaving it on the brink of collapse.

This alarming context is also jeopardizing the ability of humanitarian organizations to deliver aid.

Political unrest has erupted in ongoing mass protests. Since former Prime Minister Jean Henri Ceant’s demission on March 21st, 2019,
there has not been a functioning government. Haiti’s government is a semi-presidential system with the president elected directly by popular vote and functioning as head of state, and a prime minister, appointed by the president, acting as the head of government.
The vacuum in the prime minister’s role has prevented the adoption of the 2018-19 and 2019-20 budgets and a series of electoral laws.

Several corruption scandals have marred public officials, including President Jovenel Moise. Protesters are asking for his resignation.
